The property is situated on the edge of the pretty village of Parracombe, accessed over a quiet no-through road known as Bodley Lane and enjoying a slightly elevated, south facing position with fine views over the village and surrounding countryside. Parracombe itself is situated on the western periphery of the Exmoor National Park and affords a thriving local community providing a primary school, general store/post office, public house and parish church.  Despite its peaceful and secluded position Sunnybank still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with the larger towns of Barnstaple and South Molton providing an extensive range of every day shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities.  From both of these centres the A361 North Devon link road provides easy access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27).  Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London, Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline with its popular resorts of Lynton, Lynmouth, Combe Martin and Ilfracombe. Lying to the west are the popular sandy beaches of Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe. The property is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside which provides unsurpassed riding and is renowned for its recreational and sporting opportunities, boasting some of the finest hunting, fishing and shooting in the country.

The property is approached over the quiet no-through council road known as Bodley Lane, with private parking for 2-3 cars also providing access to the Garage and adjoining Store, which are set into the hillside with power and water connected. From the parking area a gravelled pathway with heather and flower stocked borders winds up to the bungalow. A large lawned garden adjoins to the eastern elevation, with a paved patio enjoying lovely views and a separate vegetable garden. On the opposite side of the bungalow is a further large garden area, the patio doors from the sitting room opening onto a gravelled sitting out area, with a Summer House, 3.9m x 2.2m, and Potting Shed, 2.9m x 2.3m. Steps lead down to a further pretty lower garden.
